Wine Snobbery

Robinson, Jancis. Bespectacled, prolific British wine writer, best known for editing the Oxford Companion to Wine, the most scholarly of wine reference books and one often referred to in Snob shorthand as “Jancis” — e.g., Look it up in Jancis. Blessed with an authentic wit and an assuring sensible tone, which she puts to use in several shorter books, a Financial Times column, a Web site, and sundry British “programmes,” Robinson is also the lust object of several Wine Snob admirers, Jay McInerney among them, who harbor Miss Moneypenny fantasies about her.
